CORTLANDT…WHERE LIFE WORKS

There is a hidden gem nestled along the Hudson River, less than an hour train ride from midtown. It is the town of Cortlandt, where life works at home, work and play, and it’s prime for investment. Commercial space is often available with twice the space at half the cost. A willing, educated and diverse workforce is nearby. Cortlandt possesses a lifestyle second to none. With an average household income of $119,000 and an average age of 41.4 years, Cortlandt is a ripe market for all types of goods and services.

Cortlandt completed an award-winning Sustainable Master Plan focused on economic development that emphasized future trends of employment, vital in today’s changing work style. Strategic areas for economic growth were targeted: A Tran- sit Oriented District centered around one of Cortlandt’s two Metro-North stations; a Medical Oriented District around New York Presbyterian-Hudson Valley Hospital; Cortlandt Boulevard, a major corridor where 18,000 cars per day pass numerous retail, office and service businesses; and the Waterfront Sustainability District offering multiple opportunities to create a recreational/cultural presence. Each district has a strategic magnet, yet plenty of opportunity in surrounding undeveloped or underdeveloped properties — some owned by the town, which is seeking public/private partnerships.

Town Supervisor Richard Becker is fully committed to making sure Cortlandt is where life works for your business. Since taking office in January 2022, he has in- stituted improvements to the permit process and made several zoning changes to promote economic activity. The town recently restructured the Planning Board process so that projects are reviewed by outside consultants. An amendment to the Code provides a broader interpretation, allowing approval of the conversion of an existing building to a different use with only a building permit. Supervisor Becker’s open-door policy welcomes entrepreneurs, small business and commercial developers to meet with him and all appropriate staff at one time and place.

A prime consideration for any investor is the town’s fiscal integrity and commitment to economic growth. Over the past 31 years, Cortlandt has tripled its reserve fund and maintained low property taxes.

Over $160 million is committed to capital projects to enhance infrastructure.

Cortlandt encompasses 40 square miles, 15 miles of riverfront, more than 40 recreational sites, a major shopping corridor, targeted enclaves of small businesses and friendly residential neighborhoods. It is a 35-minute drive to two commercial airports, has two Metro-North stations, an Amtrak station and major highways.
